2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. It contains information that helps the website recognise your device and remember your preferences or actions during future visits. We also treat similar technologies – such as pixels, tags and local storage – as cookies in this Notice.
3. YOUR CONSENT AND HOW TO MANAGE IT
Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Website cannot function properly without them, and they do not require your consent. All other cookies – including analytics cookies – are only placed on your device after you give your consent through our cookie banner.
When you first visit the Website, the banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies by category. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time, with effect for the future, by [reopening the cookie settings via the “Cookie settings” link on the Website].
We do not treat continued browsing, scrolling, or closing the banner as consent, and we do not use pre-ticked boxes or make access to the Website conditional on accepting cookies.
4. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES AND WHY WE USE THEM
We use the following categories of cookies on the Website:
- Strictly necessary cookies – essential for the Website to work and to keep it secure. These are always on and do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it. These are only set with your consent.
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. We may introduce functional or marketing cookies in the future; if we do, we will update this Notice and, where required, ask for your consent before they are set.
